With the development of cheap image sensors, the amount of available image data have increased enormously, and the possibility of using crowdsourced collection methods has emerged. This calls for development of ways to handle all these…
Increasing quantities of scientific data are becoming readily accessible via online repositories such as those provided by Figshare and Zenodo. Geoscientific simulations in particular generate large quantities of data, with several research…
Research collaborations are continuously emerging catalyzed by online platforms, where people can share their codes, calculations, data and results. These virtual research platforms are innovative, community oriented, flexible and secure as…
We introduce CARLA, an open-source simulator for autonomous driving research. CARLA has been developed from the ground up to support development, training, and validation of autonomous urban driving systems. In addition to open-source code…
We introduce OpenCAMS (Open-Source Connected and Automated Mobility Co-Simulation Platform), an open-source, synchronized, and extensible co-simulation framework that tightly couples three best-in-class simulation tools: (i) SUMO, (ii)…
Processes of urban planning, urban design and architecture are inherently tangible, iterative and collaborative. Nevertheless, the majority of tools in these fields offer virtual environments and single user experience. This paper presents…
The idea of cooperative perception is to benefit from shared perception data between multiple vehicles and overcome the limitations of on-board sensors on single vehicle. However, the fusion of multi-vehicle information is still challenging…
Throughout history, maps have been used as a tool to explore cities. They visualize a city's urban fabric through its streets, buildings, and points of interest. Besides purely navigation purposes, street names also reflect a city's culture…
CHARTOPOLIS is a multi-faceted sociotechnical testbed meant to aid in building connections among engineers, psychologists, anthropologists, ethicists, and artists. Superficially, it is an urban autonomous-vehicle testbed that includes both…
Autonomous driving in an unregulated urban crowd is an outstanding challenge, especially, in the presence of many aggressive, high-speed traffic participants. This paper presents SUMMIT, a high-fidelity simulator that facilitates the…
Benchmarking and monitoring urban design and transport features is critical to achieving local and international health and sustainability goals. However, most urban indicator frameworks use coarse spatial scales that only allow…
Spatio-temporal data captures complex dynamics across both space and time, yet traditional visualizations are complex, require domain expertise and often fail to resonate with broader audiences. Here, we propose MapMuse, a…
This chapter introduces OpenStreetMap - a crowd-sourced, worldwide mapping project and geospatial data repository - to illustrate its usefulness in quickly and easily analyzing and visualizing planning and design outcomes in the built…
Multimodal approaches have shown great promise for searching and navigating digital collections held by libraries, archives, and museums. In this paper, we introduce map-RAS: a retrieval-augmented search system for historic maps. In…
In recent years, the rapid development of high-precision map technology combined with artificial intelligence has ushered in a new development opportunity in the field of intelligent vehicles. High-precision map technology is an important…
High-precision vectorized maps are indispensable for autonomous driving, yet traditional LiDAR-based creation is costly and slow, while single-vehicle perception methods lack accuracy and robustness, particularly in adverse conditions. This…
Prevalent solutions for Connected and Autonomous vehicle (CAV) mapping include high definition map (HD map) or real-time Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Both methods only rely on vehicle itself (onboard sensors or embedded…
Museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions continue to prioritize and build web-based visualization systems that increase access and discovery to digitized archives. Prominent examples exist that illustrate impressive…
Participatory design effectively engages stakeholders in technology development but is often constrained by small, resource-intensive activities. This study explores a scalable complementary method, enabling broad pattern identification in…
Time introduces fundamental challenges in model development and deployment: models are usually trained on historical data while deployed on future data where semantic distributions and domain knowledge may evolve. Unfortunately, existing…
